Webinar 71: Alternative Vehicle Technologies in Japan

May 31 2016

31-05-16 | 10:30 h - 11:30 h

With what and when will the combustion engine be replaced in Japan?

When will we see the first self-driving cars on the Japanese roads?

How will traffic jams be reduced in big cities like Tokyo?

In many countries and regions around the world, there is a high pressure to replace the traditional combustion engine with something which is more environmentally friendly. Car manufacturers world wide are trying different solutions. Japanese car manufacturers were very early focusing on hybrid cars, but now the interest is more and more switching over to cars with hydrogen fuel cells. Will this be the future or will there be cars driven by solar panels in the future?

In the same time big efforts are put into “replacing” the drivers with computers, as well as making the whole transport system optimized and controlled by large scale computer systems.

The webinar was targeted at EU companies seeking to supply technologies, components or software for next generation cars, and want to understand in what directions the Japanese car industry is heading.
